ULTRATAPE

Suture

Overview

ULTRATAPE is a smooth suture tape, which when compared to a traditional #2 suture provides a 75% increase in tendon-to-bone contact while offering a significantly lower and more evenly distributed level of pressure (demonstrated in pre-clinical testing).1

Increased tendon-to-bone contact may result in an improved repair.2,3

Lower, more uniformly distributed level of compression could potentially reduce vascular restriction at the injury site after surgery.4

A wider suture construct may reduce the possibility of tissue cut-through in poor quality tendon tissue.

Expanded Techniques

Conveniently available in single packs or pre-loaded on HEALICOIL™ Suture Anchors.

ULTRATAPE can either be used for knotless or knotted repairs.

The addition of a pre-loaded ULTRABRAID™ #2 suture on ULTRATAPE versions of HEALICOIL Suture Anchors allows for a variety of suturing options.

Easily passed through tissue by using either the TRUEPASS Suture Passer, ARTHRO-PIERCE™ ULTRATAPE Suture Passer or ACCU-PASS™ Suture Shuttle.
